Installation Instructions for Chameleon™ 103 Series LED Multi-Status Indicator in NEMA 4X Enclosures

Description

The 103 Series Chameleon Multi-Status LED Indicator is a UL and cUL listed, multi-color LED signaling appliance in a NEMA 4X and IP65 rated enclosure. The modules can be panel mounted or conduit mounted.

The lights are available in 24V DC and 120V 50/60 Hz. They are available in either red, blue and amber or red, green and amber. The lights are designed such that any one or all three lights can be activated using a PLC.

Installation

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, ensure that power is turned off before installing the signal.

Conduit Mounting (Figure 1)

• Thread the 18" (45.7 cm) signal wire leads through either 1/2" (13mm) or 3/4" (19 mm) conduit into an approved conduit outlet box. (Product is supplied with a double threaded - 1/2" (13mm) internal and 3/4" (19mm) external conduit hub.)
• 2. Wire the beacon as follows:
  • a. For AC models: There are four 18" wire leads: white (neutral), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with green stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs--depending on model) and amber (for activation of amber LEDs).
    • Using wire nuts, connect white lead to AC neutral and connect each of the other three leads to AC hot.
  • b. For DC models: There are four 18" wire leads: black (common), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with green stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs-depending on model) and amber (for activation of amber LEDs).

Using wire nuts, connect black lead to DC common and connect each of the other three leads to DC hot.

• 3. Thread the conduit onto the base of the signal.
• 4. Turn on power and verify that the signal operates properly.

Panel Mounting (Figure 2)

Note: The integrity of the outdoor, NEMA 4X rating on the panel assembly at the interface with the 103 Series Chameleon relies on the construction and configuration details of the mounting surface. Installer should evaluate.

• 1. Place the mounting gasket (supplied) over the hole in the panel and route the signal wires through the gasket and the hole in the panel.
• 2. Insert the base through the hole in the panel and screw the locking nut (supplied), with the raised locking edge facing the mounting surface, onto the base to secure the beacon.
• 3. Wire the beacon as follows:
  • a. For AC models: There are four 18" wire leads: white (neutral), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with green stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs--depending on model) and amber (for activation of amber LEDs).
    • Using wire nuts, connect white lead to AC neutral and connect each of the other three leads to AC hot.
  • b. For DC models: There are four 18" wire leads: black (common), red (for activation of red LEDs), white with green stripe (for activation of green or blue LEDs-depending on model) and amber (for activation of amber LEDs).
    • Using wire nuts, connect black lead to DC common and connect each of the other three leads to DC hot.
• 4. Turn on power and verify that the signal operates properly.

Maintenance

A

WARNING

To avoid the risk of injury, do not start any maintenance when unit is energized. Reinstall lens beore energizing unit

Cleaning

The module lens exterior surfaces should be periodically cleaned with a soft clean cloth using water and a mild detergent to maintain optimum light visibility. Disconnect power before cleaning.

Lens Replacement

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before removing the lens.

• 1. Remove (4) screws securing the lens to the base from bottom of base and remove lens.
• 2. Replace lens on base and secure with (4) screws removed in step 1.
